Josh McKay is an American musician. He is best known as the bass guitarist for the indie rock band Deerhunter, with whom he has recorded two studio albums. Prior to joining the band, McKay was the founding member and frontman of the post-rock band Macha and a member of the shoegaze band Mice Parade.

McKay has also recorded solo material under the monikers, Seaworthy and Abandon the Earth Mission.

In 2002, McKay released a solo album, entitled The Ride, under the moniker, Seaworthy. The album was well-received by Pitchfork, with reviewer Christopher Dare writing: "The narrative flow is enthralling. [...] It's the first good 2002 album I've heard."

McKay joined Deerhunter in early 2013, following the departure of longtime bassist Josh Fauver.
